"Check the nutrition facts label. If it has any trans fat, put it back."
Trans fats are now banned in the US so there's not much of a need to look.
Is this really surprising? Any time I had used cannabis I felt like my IQ dropped 20-30 points and I would lose hours of my day where it was difficult for me to learn. It made doing household chores not terrible, but brought out a lot of panic inducing moments and erratic behavior. I was thinking about a 100k other things while doing one thing. Later on I realized I wasn't even doing that one thing so well. Anything…
I’m glad this research is being done. I don’t use cannabis, but I also don’t frown upon it. However some of the conversations on the use of cannabis recently have changed from “it’s a drug, but it isn’t that bad” to “it is completely harmless”. Which in my opinion is very dangerous and could harm entire populations before we have enough research. In my opinion, it should be considered similar category as alcohol, cig…
The primary positive effect of cannabis in the general population is probably that it tends to interfere with alcohol consumption, due to excessive sedation. This probably explains the lack of negative population-level effects of cannabis legalization. The most concerning effect of cannabis is its tendency to increase heart rate. Quite a bit of research is available on the effects of cannabis use — the problem is tha…
Every weed smoker I know is a drunk and when I used to smoke I drank along with it every single time.

I need alcohol to be sociable.
> I need alcohol to be sociable I always laugh when I see this. Alcohol turns me into an introvert.
I read this right after I got back from the marijuana store where a pregnant woman was buying weed. It made me uncomfortable. It just seems risky to me to take intoxicants while the babies brain is forming.
My pregnant wife refuses to buy me beer from the grocery store because of observations from strangers like this.

I don't buy that cannabis use interferes with alcohol consumption. Every weed smoker I know is a drunk and when I used to smoke I drank along with it every single time.

It isn't people you're talking about, it is only men. The issue is only men are giving their opinion, which they feel very strongly about, and it is a circumstance they, biologically speaking, can never experience. So please take the advice of another man: whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent . A woman's right to do as she pleases with her body is as absolute as a man's right to do as he pleases with…
We're not talking about the right to bodily autonomy, we're talking about doing scientific research and forming and expressing opinions. By your logic, we should rip down all the signs legally mandated in bar bathrooms informing people that alcohol during pregnancy causes birth defects.
While the article concerns a study, I responded to the OP of this thread, which is scrutinizing, "Why are pregnant women smoking weed to begin with?"
Now you have just advanced a straw man argument, as the topic of this thread is not research nor your defense of opinions, but rather, scrutinizing pregnant women.

Shame culture is one large reason why paces like Japan have so much less crime. I wish there was more of this, would be nice to have cleaner streets…

The point is that weed isn't just bad for you, it depends on your condition and the dosage.
Do you need weed to survive?
Edit: there is one aed drug I haven't tried, vimpat. Maybe that could stand in, but it overlaps with another I take already, and isn't really meant to be used together. I risk flopping around on the ground playing with those drugs, when after years I'm just now toning down other symptoms like temporary blindness and cluster headaches. Maybe you could call those quality of life things, but they are probably breaking my brain down a bit.

It's not that complex, actually. The vast majority of fats, all the natural ones, basically, are fine. Healthy, even. The weirdass plastic fats created by injecting hydrogen into vegetable oil are not fine. Done! Was that really so nuanced? No. It was not.
Try explaining to an average person how they can identify which food products at the supermarket have noble-gas-fat-products in them and which don't.
If it comes in a tin or a box, it is probably not good for you. Not all cases, but it is a good rule of thumb.
